Hello,
I have a problem using pipes in awk. Holger Kopf had the same problems (see extract from the archives bellow), but I couldn't find an answer to his problem and he has not replied to me yet.
Could you help me, please ?
I've enclosed the previous mails.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Laurent ROCHE

Hello,
did you get any answer about the problem you described in your following mail or (even better) did you work it out ?
I have exactly the same problem with B20.1 when it used to work in B19;-(.
Thanks for your help,
Laurent

Hi,
i try to develop some solutions with awk on a Windows NT 4.0,
One of the features of awk on UNIX is to evaluate inputs which
i can receive from a pipe.But on NT i can't do so !
for example the following awk-script doesn't work: {
"ls -l | sort -r " | getline xxx; print xxx; }
The commands ls and sort do not work in that example.
On a Unix-System it works very well.Please give me a little help....
